Team LXF are jetting off to Paris next week to corner Mandrakelinux founder Gael Duval about the merge with Conectiva, the resulting name change to Mandriva, Mandriva Club, the new Limited Edition distro plan, and more.

This is your chance to ask him questions - we plan to take the best questions posted in response to this message, and ask them to Gael when we meet. So, if you have something burning you want to ask the key man behind one of the most important distros, reply here.

Having decided to focus more on the business market by offering a longer release cycle and thus longer periods of stability, will you be changing the default themes to something more professional looking, rather than the current designs which look like they were dreamt up by a not-especially-talented eight year old?
(I'm sure there must be a more diplomatic way of putting it, but I'm still in shock).
